Divergent, by Veronica Roth

I love books. I don't love reviewing them. But when I read a book as awesome as Veronica Roth's DIVERGENT, I can't help but want to spread the word.

This is the first book I picked up from my summer reading list. A book I was hungry for from the first time I heard of it. And it didn't disappoint.

What I loved about it: I loved the perfectly flawed main character. I loved her painful and scary journey of self discovery. I loved the action and the suspense. I loved the sweet romance that complimented this sometimes jarring and violent tale. And I loved that this story kept my attention from start to finish. I think I read it in three sittings.

What it reminded me of: The writing style and feel of the story reminded me of one of my favorites: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. If you are a fan of The Hunger Games books, you will probably love DIVERGENT.
